The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) have decided to release their complete Online Digital Imaging Academy course to all ARRT-recognized radiography, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy education programs in the U.S.

The associations said they will send CDs of the course to all eligible program directors, which the educators can then incorporate into their 2011-12 curriculum. The Online Digital Imaging Academy course is a joint project of ARRT and ASRT that was launched in 2008 to instruct radiologic technologist and science students on the technology and applications of digital imaging.
